Anger and aggressive behavior in agent simulation

Emotions, especially negative ones, have a significant influence on the human performance and intelligent behavior. Anger also is more likely to affect decision-making and behaving because anger includes most states of effective emotions, such as stress or fear. Besides, personality has a leading role in affecting the states of emotions in specific situations. The purpose of this paper is simulation of the anger emotion and personality in intelligent agents. To do this, the dimensions of personality related to anger are linked to aggression by a fuzzy expert system as a new way of implementing an intelligent emotional agent. The knowledge base of this expert system contains fuzzy rules obtained from a decision tables and facts obtained from ontology.
